NEW YORK (WFAN) — If the walls of old Yankee Stadium could talk.

One of the most bizarre stories in Bronx baseball history may be going Hollywood, and according to the NY Post, one former Yankee in the middle of the narrative is “desperate” to block it.

Mike Kekich is up in arms over “The Trade,” a movie being scripted by Ben and Casey Affleck, chronicling the ex-Yankee hurler’s famous 1970s wife-swap involving teammate Fritz Peterson.

A source told the Post, “Kekich is panic-stricken. He has moved away and has a new identity. He is freaked out that those working on the movie found out where he is. He isn’t too keen on having the scandal dredged up again after all this time.

“Other Yankees from that time have also been really unhelpful with facts and details of what happened. They are stonewalling.”
